Makeup Junkie Wants To Know Poll and CARGO Contest!

As a makeup artist, I am fortunate enough to do the faces of some pretty amazing women. They all range from non-makeup wearers to I-can't-live-without-my-makeup fanatics. I love both type of clients - no I really do. It's fun gabbing about makeup and different makeup techniques with avid makeup wearers but the real fun is converting someone who rarely wears makeup and making them true believers!

Makeup Junkie wants to know how often do you get your makeup done? Only on special occasions - birthdays, weddings, prom? Or do you get your makeup done to pamper yourself? New makeup launch? And are fake lashes involved? Do you prefer your makeup done at a counter, salon, spa, or have a makeup artist come to you? Makeup Junkie wants to know it all!

All you have to do is leave a comment (be as thorough as you'd like!) and you will be automatically entered to win a year supply of CARGO's 3 Triple Action Mascara set to launch Fall 2010! The 3 is formulated to do it all - thicken, lengthen, and curl! This mascara is loaded with anti-oxidants and 11 amino acids essential for the health of hair follicles. It's good for you and it makes you look great! (Stay tuned for my review.)

One winner will be randomly chosen and will be announced on June 30th at 12 pm! I look forward to your comments! Open to Canadian and U.S. residents. My girl, Farah, over at Faces By Farah, is also giving away the 3 Mascara so you can double your chances of winning this mascara before it launches!

oh no :( i have to admit that i have never (YET) gotten my makeup done by a makeup artist. I did however, have makeup put on me by one of my good friends when we were getting ready for a party.. and she's working hard taking courses to become a true makeup artist now.. so i guess that counts right? haha

I love make up and can't live without it. I usually do it myself and from time to time go to a counter, have a MUA do it for me so I can learn new application techniques. I am not comfortable wearing fake lashes though.

yes, i usually have my make-up done for special occasions where i have to wear something formal. just to complete my look and not looking like you have a nice dress but not-so-good looking face to go with it. and it feels nice to be pampered by someone else during a special day. also, usually the make-up artist gives tips that are helpful. for counters, i like to have it done if the mua looks like she is very accommodating. i hate it when they make you feel inferior and when they are arrogant. what the heck, i will just go to another place, then. no thank you! plus, it's really different having your make-up done professionally. i like hearing people say that i look pretty! and when that happens, it's truly worth it!

i've gotten my makeup done on several occasions and it looked horrible every time. i do my own makeup and it turns out beautiful. i really pamper myself when i go out with the girls with my bf. i keep it simple and classy :o)

Even though I'm a MUA myself I still like to get pampered and have my makeup done by someone else. So every now and then I'll randomly book an appointment for a makeover at a makeup counter. For special occasions I like to do the makeup myself.

Ah.. I've pretty much become addicted to makeup. I was really into art before i got into makeup and it just seemed so natural.. except the canvas is my face. Sometimes I even do makeup just for fun! I've ended up with some garish rainbow/glittery eye looks but also some beautiful night looks too =). If im really rushed for time i usualy at least put on my spf20 tinted moisturizer and some nude brown eyeliner.

I've only had my makeup done twice, once when I graduated highschool and I promptly washed it off and redid it myself. The second time was at Sephora during a Benefit event. I have dry skin, and I think most people have normal to oily skin, so I often feel like they use too much powder on me because they don't understand dry skin very well.

I've had my makeup done about 4 times. The last one was at Shiseido and I thought they did a nice job making me look pretty. I tend to gravitate to bright colours so when I see the neutrals on my face from a makeover, I'm surprised and a little disappointed that it's so tame.

I wear concealer, liner and mascara every time I leave the house. On special occasions I will wear foundation. I tend to not go get my makeup done. My daughter went for her graduation pictures and they did such an awesome job that she made an appointment for her prom. The same lady was not working that day and was done by someone that was not wearing any makeup and come out looking like a clown. She had to come home and redo it on her own. I judge their jobs and recommendations on how they look.

I wear make up everyday. I put on mascara, powder foundation, blush and lipgloss and lipstick. When i go out to a party i put on eyeshadow and sometimes bronzer. I put on my makeup myself but would like to get it down profeshionally at least once by MAC or something and get them to add on fake lashes as i have never tried those but love the look.
